How do kelpto sims steal

Yes, but there are some caveats:

• You have to start off stealing small decorative items and work up as your Mischief skill increases.
  
• You can't steal a surface with something on it.
  
• You can't steal items deemed necessary to life.
  
• And I don't think you can steal anything that would render a venue incomplete.
  

It's not great. Nick-naks from a table seems to be the extent in open play (at my mischief level anyhow). Gone are the days of going out for the night& returning home with a couple of cars in your pocket! :o $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Best use I have seen is for passive stealing. Sometimes my guys bring something back from work. I have had my cook bring back a decent coffee maker. My Te h Guru brought home a computer!!! It was a naff computer, but it sells! I put it in the kids room.

Thanks ! So many rules being a thief :)

It depends on your mischief skill I believe.

It definitely depends on your mischief skill. I have my klepto maxed on mischief and am enjoying my purloined goods.

My Klepto sim just randomly steals things from work pretty much on a daily basis. It cracks me up that his bosses haven't noticed. Every day I get the message "so and so swiped this while he was at work." It's a good way to earn some extra cash, so I can't complain.

Yeah. I have had a tech guru steal a low-grade computer, my school kids even steal books from school. Worst is my culinary sim. She has stolen a coffee maker that was good, but mostly just brings back dirty dishes. |I mean.... WHY? :s

You are about to leave work & think, I know I'll have those dirty plates!!!! :*

My sims seems to only be able to steal decorative objects like clutter.

Level the mischief skill and they'll be stealing big ticket items in no time. >:)

My only 'issue' is that there does not seem to be any stuff to steal from public places. In TS3 you could go steal lamposts, cars, benches etc from public places. Now I do not see anything to steal unless you go to the house of another sim. Frankly I can't be bothered with the loading screens!
